As you pull out from run-away-bay I suggest you don't cut back to the right towards the bridge until you're at least 75 yrds. or so out away from the rock burm that encloses the ramp & boat docks. I pulled out there this morning was around 40 +/- yrds. away from the rocks and in about 5 foot of water, got on plane and started trimming out then right off the bat I hit a big rock pile that was about a foot or so below the surface. It's probably about mid way from where you come out from the ramp and the burm turns back to the bridge. Busted a hole in the bottom of the lower unit and chewed up the prop pretty good.
